Pensions: Women Over 50 Could Be Risking Debt Problemsposted on 22 July 2010 | posted in General Category | ( 0 ) CommentsOnly 38% of women over the age of 50 are saving adequately for their retirement, according to Scottish Widows - and they could be risking problems with debt in later life as a result. The Scottish Widows Pensions Index shows that overall only 48% of people are saving adequately for retirement, compared with 54% last year. Just over a fifth (21%) of those who `could and should` are not saving at all. Men are more likely to be saving adequately than women: while 52% of men are saving adequately this year, only 43% of women are doing the same. But a lower percentage of both males and females are saving adequately compared with last year. The fall in adequate pensions savings suggests either that people are struggling more than they were last year, or that some people are becoming complacent about the issue. Either way, it`s very important that people make sure they are saving enough for a comfortable retirement. Share this blog entry:
